LAMPING YOUR LUMINAIRE
Before lamping – DISCONNECT THE LUMINAIRE FROM THE POWER SUPPLY. Be aware also that the
lamp or luminaire may still be hot, so exercise the necessary caution to avoid burns. Please note also
that these luminaires are not suitable for mounting on a normally flammable surface.
The Selecon Rama Fresnel and PC range comprises four models: the High Performance
175 Fresnel, High Performance 175 PC, 150 Fresnel and 150 PC. The Selecon Rama
range is designed for use with either the T/29 1200W or T/19 1000W lamp.
To facilitate the use of these two lamps which are of different sizes the height of the GX9.5
lampbase plate is adjustable. The adjustment is by means of positioning 2 lampbase
spacers under the lampbase. Without the spacers, the lampbase is aligned for use with the
T/29 1200W lamp.
With the spacers, the lampbase is aligned for use with the 1000W lamp. To make the
adjustment, loosen the two lampbase fastening screws with a screwdriver, and lift the
lampbase up. Slide the two lampbase spacers into place around the lampbase screws,
and tighten the screws.
Lamps able to be used in the Rama range are: 1200W – T/29: 1000W – T/11, T/19, CP24, CP70.
Release the clip fastener and swing down the rear door.
Insert lamp taking care not to touch the quartz envelope with your fingers.
Close door and lock off the fastener.
The luminaire should be at least 1m away from the nearest object it is
lighting.

MOUNTING YOUR LUMINAIRE
Your luminaire uses a theatre lamp with a grid filament. To avoid premature
lamp failure it is essential that the luminaire is always mounted so the yoke
is horizontal and with the lamp base down, i.e. the lamp adjustment knob is
at the bottom of the rear lamp plate.
Rama 150 Fresnel and PC , Rama 175 Fresnel and PC
To mount on the theatre standard scaffold pipe (48mm O.D.) use a
theatre hookclamp (G clamp) (Order Code: 20HC). Your luminaire is
supplied with a 12mm set screw, washers and a nut. Thread the set
screw through the yoke from the inside, put on a washer, then the
hookclamp, another washer and then do up finger tight with the nut.
To mount on a telescopic stand, reverse the yoke under the luminaire
and bolt the stand’s spigot onto the 10mm set screw.
Rama 150FT Fresnel and PC, Rama 175FT HP Fresnel and PC
To mount on the theatre standard scaffold pipe (48mm O.D.) use a
theatre hookclamp (G clamp) (Order Code: 20HC). Your luminaire is
supplied with a FFT pan grip control to facilitate fast adjustment. Insert
the hookclamp into the top of the FFT pan grip control, thread the 12mm
set screw provided through the hookclamp and into the FFT pan grip
control, and lock the hookclamp into place with the guides.
SAFETY CHAIN
A Safety Chain MUST always be used when rigging luminaires on bars, ladders etc. The Rama has an
integral safety bond that can be retracted into the luminaire when not in use. To use the safety chain,
unscrew the safety chain locking clamp located on the top of the lamphouse, pull the clip out from the
rear of the lamphouse, and loop the safety chain around the bar fastening the clip onto the safety
chain. Be careful to allow sufficient slack to enable the luminaire to be focussed freely. To replace the
safety chain, remove the rear lamphouse moulding, slide out the safety chain locking clamp, and pull
out the safety chain, taking care to retain the safety chain loop bar. Reverse the process with a new
safety chain. Replace only with the approved Safety Chains available from Selecon or your distributor.
FOCUSING
Rama 150 Fresnel and PC, Rama 175 Fresnel and PC
The variable beam of the Rama is altered by adjusting the position of the lamp /
reflector assembly relative to the lens. Finger tight pressure only is necessary to lock
the lamp / reflector assembly off in the chosen positions. A beam angle reference scale
is provided to prefocus the luminaire if desired.
When focusing, first spot the beam down, position the luminaire and then flood the
beam to cover the area required. The beam can then be shaped using the barndoors
(Order Code: 20BDSF12).
Rama 150FT Fresnel and PC, Rama 175FT HP Fresnel and PC
The variable beam of the Rama is altered by adjusting the position of the lamp / reflector assembly relative to
the lens. The Rama is suppled with an FFT focus assembly to facilitate fast adjustment. To adjust the beam
angle of the Rama, squeeze the focus grip and slide to the position required. Release the focus grip to lock the
focus. A beam angle reference scale is provided to prefocus the luminaire if desired.
When focusing, first spot the beam down, position the luminaire and then flood the beam to cover the area
required. The beam can then be shaped using the barndoors (Order Code: 20BDSF12).
YOKE PIVOT ADJUSTMENT
The yoke on the Rama range can be positioned anywhere in the channel that runs the length of the luminaire.
This is useful to achieve the best balance if using a colour changer or other accessory mounted on the front of
the luminaire, or to fit the luminaire in space restricted positions.

The yoke balance point is factory set on the lamp house for normal applications. To move the yoke, loosen the
M8 bolt at the bottom pivot point of the yoke on the right side of the luminaire. Release the tilt locking clamp on
the left side of the luminaire, and slide the yoke to the required position. Check the yoke is evenly positioned on
each side and tighten the M8 bolt, and the tilt locking clamp. To return the yoke to its original balance point,
align the yoke to the balance point marked on the focus reference scale.
PAN AND TILT ADJUSTMENT
Rama 150 Fresnel and PC, Rama 175 Fresnel and PC
To pan your luminaire loosen the yoke nut and bolt holding the hookclamp onto the yoke and adjust the yoke as
required, then retighten the yoke nut and bolt.
The nylock nut that secures the yoke on the opposite side to the tilt handle sets the tilt lock friction. The tilt
friction can be adjusted by loosening or tightening up the nylock nut. To tilt your luminaire, turn the tilt lock knob
clockwise, tilt the luminaire to the position required, then turn the tilt lock knob anticlockwise. A tilt angle
reference scale is provided on the locking clamp disc to prefocus the luminaire if desired.
Please note that as the handles on the Rama range can reach high temperatures depending on the position or
orientation of the luminaire, and that gloves should always be worn when focusing these luminaires.
Rama 150FT Fresnel and PC, Rama 175FT HP Fresnel and PC
The Rama is suppled with an FFT pan assembly on the yoke to facilitate fast adjustment. To pan your luminaire
turn the pan locker a ¼ turn clockwise and adjust the yoke as required, then turn the pan locker a ¼ turn
anticlockwise to set the position. A pan angle reference scale is provided on the FFT pan assembly to prefocus
the luminaire if desired.
The nylock nut that secures the yoke on the opposite side to the tilt handle sets the tilt lock friction. The tilt
friction can be adjusted by loosening or tightening up the nylock nut. To tilt your luminaire, turn the tilt lock knob
clockwise, tilt the luminaire to the position required, then turn the tilt lock knob anticlockwise. A tilt angle
reference scale is provided on the locking clamp disc to prefocus the luminaire if desired.
